Learn About Certificates
Welcome to our guide on Mozeditor Certificates, another
new innovation for the World Wide Web to help identify the suitability
of web site content.
While many parts of the web industry are either cutting
back in content, or expanding services. There is an essential and
fundamental issue of getting their houses in order however, when it
comes to responsibility of publishing and broadcasting. But apparently
this is not the case and I quote one leading search engine provider;
they said....
"Regrettably
we have no control over the Search Engine results content that we
generate".
It sounds alarming and it is for users and genuine deserving web site
owners. In effect, if you see spam
from search engine results, the using of your business name,
passing off, theft of your identity, obscene content, the abuse of
minors. Apparently it does not matter!!!!
We Care and It Does Matter
As a Senior WWW Developer spam and abuse has gravely concerned
me for a number of years. The web prior to 1998, was still in the stage
of innocents and in the true spirit of the web an educational vehicle
for academics and students. But after that period, the problems of
abuse and spam, just compounded by the day. Fortunately, like a number
other mavericks, I love and care about the web and can do
something about the problem.
As a developer and parent I can sleep at night with a clear concious,
as for ourselves at Riverside Networks we are doing something about the
problem.
Abuse and theft is a problem, it is a serious problem and every
business or organization that chooses to ignore the problem is just as
culpable as the offenders themselves. There is no justification or
excuse at all, the technology and manpower exists to address the
problem and I have freely offered the architecture in RDF.
Eventually, and hopefully, in the next two years, you will see a
broadcasting standard and a code of ethics introduced. But in the
meantime, we have just got on with it at Riverside Networks regarding
our next generation of web content delivery systems.
The Certificates Name
The certificates are
called 'Mozeditor
Certificates' as they are part of a bigger plan to outlaw spam
and abuse. The Mozilla Editor Project and creation is my own. I am the
Project Owner of Mozilla Editor that is being developed by myself and
will eventually be hosted on the Mozilla Development Foundation web
site here http://mozeditor.mozdev.org
.
Certificates Identity
Please find below each certificate identity, with a clear
concise explanation as to why and how the content has been certified
and awarded. The standards have been introduced by ourselves based on
years of experience in the Broadcasting and Media Publishing industry.
Every web page we introduce or develop, across the web community, will
clearly display an age certificate. On iweb our enhanced next
generation web directory and isearch service, web site entries and
listings, will also display suitability certificate icons, as part of a
public service to parents and users.
Thank you and Safe Surfing!
